Forget unicorn frappes — these purple ice cream cones are to die for

It seems like the whole world is in uproar over
Starbucks’ Unicorn Frappes. Girls are feverishly posting their
drinks on Instagram, some are even dyeing their hair to match the drink, and
baristas just want this whole trend to end already. Are you tired
of the whole unicorn shtick? We know we (almost) are, but here’s
one last hurrah: unicorn purple ice cream cones.

Created by Soft Swerve, a New York City
ice-cream shop, the purple confection unmistakably gives off
unicorn vibes. However, we’re happy to report that there’s way less
mess involved in the making of each cone, unlike those unicorn frappes. Let us
take a moment to appreciate Starbucks baristas who have
inadvertently inhaled too much unicorn dust…

The purple ice cream cones are made from ube, a yam
from the Philippines which reportedly tastes just like white
chocolate. Topped with colourful Fruity Pebbles and marshmallow,
the icy treat is oh-so-ready for your next Instagram shot. You can
also get it plain or with sprinkles. So, time to book tickets to
NYC?
